A last first day for two lifelong friends. We hope the entire Class of 2025 had a great first day! Let's see what the second one brings.

A last first day for these two lifelong friendsđź’™

With our first day, also comes plenty of last first days among the Class of 2025! Misty Grinnell passed along this picture of Mettarose as she starts off on the first day of senior year!
Seniors: It's your time. Enjoy this year and make the most of your opportunities! We're excited to see what you do this year.

Happy first day of school from Mrs. Libertella's MVCC College Chemistry students at CHS!
This class is one of many dual credit opportunities we offer at CHS. They are also fortunate to have Mrs. Libertella, who is part of the NYS Master Teacher program. Have a great year!

Ready to roll for a new year here at CHS!




Welcome to the first day of school for the 2024-25 school year! We're excited to see everyone very shortly!

Tomorrow, we get the year started! We'll see you soon!
And to our friends in Pre-K, we're super excited to welcome you to school for your first day on Monday, 9/9!

Yesterday, we spent the morning getting inspired to make every day: "the best day ever" at our Staff Opening Day Assembly!
Share those first day moments with us!
If you'd like to share your first day of school pictures with us and don't mind us sharing them, send them to camdenphotos@camdencsd.org and we'd love to feature as many as we possibly can.
While we know that it is a very popular trend right now, we ask that you please refrain from submitting pictures to us with signs containing information about your child.
We're looking forward to getting the year started!

This morning, five Camden Central School District staff members were honored for achieving 25 years of service.
They are:
Michael Carey - CHS Social Studies
Karen Davis - CHS Social Studies
Erin Gannon - CMS Science
Tracy Hooker - CHS Special Education
and Talie Sullivan - CMS 6th Grade
Congratulations, and THANK YOU for a quarter century of serving our students and community!

Final Reminder: CHS New Student Orientation and Open House is tonight, Tuesday 9/3. It is being held in two groups. See the graphic for times.
9th grade students, and any student who has not attended in-person classes at CHS (including transfer students) can tour Camden High School during this event.
Students will be provided with their hallway locker information, schedule of classes, a Chromebook, and a building map. All 10th - 12th grade students will have their schedules sent via Parent Square on 9/4. Parents may accompany a student. Please park in the back parking lot and enter through the rear auditorium foyer door, also known as DOOR H.
Don't hesitate to contact the High School Main Office with any questions at 315 - 245 - 3168.

On Saturday, the girls varsity soccer team made these t-shirts as a team building activity. Each player's shirt features the handprints of their teammates, and hopefully, that feeling of connectedness off the field sets the tone for a great season on it.
The girls open the season on Thursday with a TVL matchup against Oneida. Kick time is set for 4:30!


Renowned science educator Steve Spangler is up to address the staff at this morning's opening day program. Considering we've already had Mrs. Allen holding a leaf blower, and a whole bunch of toilet paper is now in the front row, we think it's off to a good start.



Staff beginning to file in for Opening Day!

Connected Community Schools is opening up an opportunity to do Senior Pictures this September! Reservations are required and can be made by calling the number in the flyer.

If you use a child care provider for before or after school, and have not updated your transportation at any point this summer, please call 315-245-4096 as soon as possible to confirm the provider’s address for transportation purposes.
If you have updated your pick-up and drop-off points this summer, or you do not use a before or after school child care provider, you do not need to take any action.
The Camden Central School District is using a new routing system this year to provide enhanced information about routes such as times, and elevate the level of transportation services it is able to provide.
Drivers are currently test driving the preliminary runs to evaluate ride times. We have encountered some road closures and road work, and some last minute changes that have had some effect on routing. Transportation is working to resolve those issues and reduce ride times to the extent possible.
We anticipate that we can share a route update for the start of the year on Friday, 8/30.
